2007 CALANGUTE SOCIAL IN CANADA
By: Kevin D'Costa
The Villagers of Calangute joined together on September 15th, 2007 to
celebrate their 16th Anniversary Social and the Feast Of Patron St. Alex.
The Social was held at St. John's Hall, Mississauga, Ontario and was
attended by well over 600 villagers and guests.
Mass was celebrated by Rev. Fr. Darren Dias, O.P. a Goan Priest with ties
to the Calangute community and was promptly followed by lively music
provided by Naked Flames and DJ Carlito. They got the crowd on their feet
and on the dance floor all night long. A sumptuous dinner buffet included
authentic Goan/Italian/Canadian cuisine and everyone enjoyed the delicious
food.
The floor shows included: Corridinho Goan Folk Dance by 8 young Goan
children under the direction of Dr. Lucina Pinto and a Special Goan Michael
Jackson show performed by young Goan boy Orville Maciel. Both shows were
fantastic and were well received by all.
The President of the Calangute Association, Canada, Antonio Mascarenhas,
raised the toast and was proclaimed President unanimously of the Calangute
Association, Canada for another 2 years term (2008/2009).
Congratulations to the President, Antonio Mascarenhas and his Committee for
doing an outstanding job. We all had a wonderful time and look forward to
another successful event next year!
